This book is so awful, and so out of synch with every previous volume of Ultimate X-Men that it should be considered non-canon. The writing is embarrasing. The characters are nonsensical. The retcon of Collosus could have made sense in a better writer's hands, but you don't just spring this in one issue and then make it the most important plot point in the title.

Jean Grey just became The Phoenix, and he pushed it to the B-story. Cable and ONslaught just came back from the future to defeat Apocalypse, but let's talk about how Canadians are using drugs supplied by a mutant to ... umm ... to ... y'know I don't think the writer knew what the endgame was either.

This book is awful. Don't read it.

This is an uneven but ultimately satisfying end to this long running series as Ultimate X-Men seems to strike out on its own with a largely original story line and gives Wolverine a good enough send off that you hope it sticks.

Okay...yeah no. What? I mean the X-Men is still interesting and I have no problem with them fighting themselves but...Moira turned Wolverine into a drug? What?
